Colleen Mondor is a freelance investigative journalist who lives part-time in Alaska. She is a pilot and primarily writes about aviation safety. After running dispatch operations for four years at a Fairbanks-based commuter and charter airline, she wrote a memoir largely based on that experience, The Map of my Dead Pilots: The dangerous game of flying in Alaska. In 2020, she published an article in the Midnight Sun called “Everything you ever wanted to know about Alaska’s bypass mail.” Today we will discuss the subject of that article: how bypass mail got started, how it has morphed over time, and why rural Alaska is absolutely dependent on it.
